The show will premiere on September 1, 2025 on Amazon Prime Video and focuses on a group of high school graduates who want to make it big in the world of music and therefore create a rock band.

Interestingly, the show is inspired by the real band of the same name and will include the real group’s members as well.

Here are the details about the show’s filming locales.

Details about the primary filming locations for The Runarounds

The Runarounds was filmed in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina, USA. As the show is set in Wilmington, the city is the main backdrop. From its lively streets to its historic places, the city abounds with vibrancy. It also has a long history of being a filming hotspot. Wilmington is along the North Carolina coast and is known for its riverfront and long history of filming around the area. Shows like Dawson’s Creek, Outer Banks, and others, have been filmed there.

On the other hand, Wrightsville Beach offers sandy shores, coastal views, and is perfect for filming outdoor and ocean front scenes. The beach is just a short drive from Wilmington and is known for its surf culture and sunsets. As the show is based on youth culture, the place offers locales for beachside hangouts, concerts, and a feeling of escape.

Interestingly, the filming for the show began in August 2024 around Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina. The locations captured the sunny look and the summer vibes of the area, which fit the show’s plot.

While Jonas Pate has created the series, David Wilcox from Fringe, has also worked on the show. Inspired by the real band and starring the real group members, the show has William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, and Jesse Golliher.
